Editing Mushroom World

[[Image: MushroomWorld.png|thumb|right|'''Mushroom World''', as depicted in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.]]

'''Mushroom World''' is the name of the world [[Mario]] and his friends live on.  It is the setting of many games in the Mario series and sub-series.  The [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Star Haven]], as well as all the lands featured in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', are all a part of this Mushroom World. The Mushroom Kingdom is considered to be the "gateway" to the greater Mushroom World.  As such, other lands that are associated with the Mushroom Kingdom also exist on Mushroom World, such as the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], [[Sarasaland]], [[Dinosaur Land]], and [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. However, games and places less associated with the Mushroom Kingdom (and the main Mario series itself) are harder to place. It is sensible to believe that places visited in the [[Donkey Kong]] and [[WarioWare]] series are a part of Mushroom World, as characters from these locations often appear in the Mushroom Kingdom for kart races and sports events. However, it is possible these places exist in different worlds, as they are not explicitly linked to the Mushroom Kingdom, the gateway of Mushroom World. As such, some places are only inferred to be part of Mushroom World, as they are not associated with the Mushroom Kingdom, but characters from those places are associated with Mario himself. In either case, characters are able to travel between these distinct areas, even if they exist in different worlds.

Mushroom World is orbited by a variety of [[The Moon|natural satellites]].  These satellites apparently have atmospheres similar to Mushroom World's, as Mario is able to breathe without the use of a [[helmet]] (unlike on the [[Planet Blobule]], a planet seperate from Mushroom World).

Although unconfirmed, it is likely that the worlds featured in other [[Nintendo]] franchises are a part of the same universe associated with Mushroom World. This explains why characters from other franchises appear on Mushroom World (as well as how characters are able to battle in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series). It is even possible that Mushroom World and this Nintendo universe are a part of an even greater video game universe, given that characters from non-Nintendo franchises, such as ''Final Fantasy'' heroes and [[Solid Snake]], have appeared on Mushroom World.

== Is Mushroom World actually the Earth? ==

Mushroom World is considered to be a distinct entity from the Earth, as the geography and history of the two worlds are completely different.  In games where the Earth is explicitly represented, such as ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'' and ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', the Earth resembles the Earth we actually live on. We share this video game Earth's history, as well as its environments and other traits. Features of Mushroom World, such as the invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom by [[Bowser]], or giant mushrooms growing to the size of trees, do not exist in games where Earth is represented. However, it is possible Mushroom World is an alternate version of Earth, given the similarities between the two. This is explicitly stated in the anime film ''[[The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach]]'', ''Super Mario'' cartoons, [[Nintendo Adventure Books]] and ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film. In these mediums, characters are able to travel between the two versions of Earth through dimensional gateways. However, this does not mean Mushroom World is Earth, just its equivalent in an alternate dimension.

Places not associated with the Mushroom Kingdom, such as [[Diamond City]], may exist on Earth, if not Mushroom World or some other world.

== Lands of Mushroom World ==

These are the lands associated with the Mushroom Kingdom and thus the greater Mushroom World.  These lands appear in the Mario series of games, as well as some spin-off titles.

* [[Mushroom Kingdom]]
* [[Grass Land]]
* [[Desert Land]]
* [[Water Land]]
* [[Giant Land]]
* [[Sky Land]]
* [[Ice Land]] 
* [[Pipe Land]]
* [[Dark Land]]
* [[Sarasaland]]
* [[Mario Land]] 
* [[Kitchen Island]]
* [[Dinosaur Land]], which includes [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]
* [[Jewelry Land]]
* [[Star Haven]]
* [[Beanbean Kingdom]]
* [[Isle Delfino]], along with the surrounding islands
* [[Rogueport]] 
* [[Waffle Kingdom]]
* [[Vibe Island]]

===Non-Game Lands===

* [[Land of Ice]]
* [[Cramalot]]
* [[Wild West]]
* [[River World]]
* [[Linguine Empire]]
* [[Rotunda Land]]
* [[Desert Kingdom]]
* [[Amazon Jungle]]
* [[Snow World]]
* [[Car Land]]
* [[Mythis]]
* [[Turtlevania]]

* [[Swiss Cheese Alps]]
* [[Spy Land]]
* [[Land of Romance]]
* [[Lava Land]]
* [[Sharewood Forest]]
* [[Ocean World]]
* [[Shamrock Kingdom]]
* [[Sayonara]]

== Inferred Lands of Mushroom World ==
These lands are thought to exist in the same world as Mario's, given that characters such as Wario and DK appear in games with Mario. However, these lands are not explicitly associated with the Mushroom Kingdom. As such, it is possible these lands exist in a different world.

* [[Donkey Kong Island]]
* [[Crocodile Isle]]
* [[Northern Kremisphere]]
* [[Timber's Island]]
* Willow Woods and Isle 'O Hags, both of which are mentioned as the homes of [[Conker the Squirrel]] and [[Banjo]]
* The various kingdoms of ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''
* [[Diamond City]] (may, in fact, exist on [[Earth]])

== Worlds distinct from Mushroom World ==

These are worlds that are explicitly distinct from Mushroom World. However, this does not mean interaction between different worlds does not exist.

* [[Subcon (place)|Subcon]] is a world that exists in Mario's dreams.
* [[Earth]] is a planet separate from Mushroom World (although it is possible Mushroom World is an alternate version of Earth).
* The [[Factory]] of the [[Smithy Gang]] is an alternate dimension.
* The [[Shroob Planet]], the home planet of the [[Shroob]]s, is a world far away from Mushroom World.
* In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', [[Flipside]], a place "between dimensions" is explored by Mario as well as other characters. This game also contains an entire planet that exists in a different dimension: [[Planet Blobule]]. In fact, the game contains many other dimensions distinct from Mushroom World.
* [[Future Fun Land]] is [[Wizpig]]'s home planet far from Mushroom World.
* The lands of ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' are in an alternate TV dimension that can be reached via the [[Telmet]].
* [[Bananase]] is mentioned as being the home planet of the alien [[Xananab]]s.
* In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' Mario will travel to different planets across the galaxy.

-The '''Mushroom World''' is an area with eight countries in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] serves as a gateway to these lands. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopalings]] have taken over the other seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World. They stole the [[Magic Wand]]s of the [[kings]] of each domain and transformed them into various creatures. While [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] eventually defeat them and restore the kings to normal, Bowser himself returns to the Mushroom Kingdom in their absence and kidnaps [[Princess Peach]] once again. He is later thwarted in [[Dark Land|his own territory]].

In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', it is stated during the ending that Mario and [[Yoshi]] departed from [[Jewelry Land]] to return to the Mushroom World, where the princess awaits them. Furthermore, "Mushroom World" is sometimes used to refer to the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Paper Mario]]''; the kingdom went under that name in the original Japanese script, but the English localization substituted most instances with the more common Mushroom Kingdom to fit the context.<ref>{{cite|publisher=FC2.com|language=ja|url=hakuda2.web.fc2.com/wario/mario/4.html|title=マリオストーリーの攻略★|accessdate=August 7, 2024}}</ref> Similarly, the Japanese version of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] manual of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' uses "Mushroom World" to refer to Mario, Luigi, and Peach's homeland in a direct reference to ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', which was changed to "Mushroom Kingdom" in the official English localization.<ref>{{cite|url=www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~yamasai/story/s-supermarioworld.htm|title=スーパーマリオワールド|publisher=Biglobe|language=ja|accessdate=August 7, 2024}} A transcript of the Japanese ''Super Mario World'' manual showing the reuse of 「キノコワールド」 ''Kinoko Wārudo'' (Mushroom World) from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

-===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
-In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Mushroom World is divided into eight lands, seven of them with individual kings that were usurped by the seven Koopalings, and the eighth land, [[Dark Land]], being Bowser's home domain and the location of [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]]. The [[Warp Zone]] is considered World 9 in the game, but it is not confirmed to be an official part of the Mushroom World. Likewise, it is unknown where [[World-e]] is located.
